ALASKA ON CENTER STAGE

In a move timed to divert the media focus from the Democratic convention in Colorado. Republican John McCain has named Alaska Governess Sarah Palin as his running mate for the upcoming presidential election.

This move will also appeal to those Democrats that still back Hillary Clinton, who think that if she is not the candidate, she should be on the ticket. It point out the snub, and may woo some of those Dems.

Brilliant!

BOOB JOB

A friend of the Kodiak Perspective has scheduled breast augmentation surgery, and it has become a regular topic of conversation, though it is an uncomfortable topic for the Kodiak Perspective in mixed company. 

The Kodiak Perspective feels like a brassiere, I am there to lift your spirits and support your decision, but I don’t know if I can continue to shoulder the responsibility and hold up my end.

The Kodiak Perspective does not understand why women will shell out hard earned cash for a larger bust, anyone can get bigger boobs, if you going to spend the money why not make a statement, get a third one!

A third one? You may wonder, but think about it from a guy’s perspective . . . we have two hands, and a mouth!

THE GREAT FIREWALL OF NBC?

Leading up to the Olympic games in Beijing, there were many stories about China lifting some restriction it has placed on the internet, sometimes referred to as the “Great Firewall of China”, in an effort to appease the many foreign visitors expected for the games.

The Kodiak Perspective has a confession to make, he enjoys the Olympics. So he was excited to learn about all the different sites where one could watch the games on the web.

But if you actually try to access these broadcasts, you will find that they are unavailable in the United States. It seems that NBC has the exclusive rights. 


Note the Red Bar which reads: This channel is not available in your country.

NBC restricts internet viewers even further, by denying access to those who do not pay for television service, either by cable, direct TV, or satellite.

Do we live in the land of the free, or is it really a controlled corporate state?
